Need Ankle Insurance? Kobe Got You Covered
Nike continues to promote Kobe Bryant and his signature shoes with the latest “NotMyBrokenAnkles” campaign. Here is part of the message Kobe released as President of Ankle Insurance Co.:
Broken ankles can happen at anytime. Don’t let your friends, loved ones or opponents suffer from slow game any longer. If your superior quickness has ever broken someone’s ankles, don’t just laugh at them. Get them the piece of mind they so desperately need.
Of course, the push here is to buy the Zoom Kobe IV which is available in a rainbow of colors.
Frak, Did I Miss the BSG Start?
Whew, nope. It’s on Friday. That Sci-Fi ad had me for a moment saying new episodes tonight. Only 10 more episodes in the Battlestar Galactica story.
Who’s the last remaining Cylon?
What? No School Tomorrow
Looks like kids are getting a break tomorrow. Wonder if the weather will be that bad?
Yes, My TV Is Still Working
Reporting in. My television is still working with Hawaii’s early move to digital television (though I had no concern as an Oceanic cable subscriber).
I’m still keeping an eye on our Roomba for any funny business.
You Got to Be Kidding Me?
I don’t know what’s up with Don Quijote, but come on now. I have to wonder about some of the products they sell. This is scary.
What do you make of this?
Judgement Day Begins Tomorrow!
The switch over to digital television just might be a prophetic sign of the impending Judgement Day when Cyberdyne’s Skynet activates, and Terminators start their reign.
That or you might hear music in your head and realize you’re the last unknown Cylon.
In either case, I’m keeping my eye on our new iRobot Roomba. If that thing isn’t an indicator of artificial intelligence, I don’t know what is.

Digital Television for Hawaii Starts Tomorrow
Hawaii’s switchover to digital television is still set for an early date of Thursday, January 15, 2009. We’re going to lead the nation into the digital television realm to save the petrels.
Running with Ultra Dance 10
Needing some new tunes for running, I picked up Ultra Dance 10 from Amazon (I didn’t see this in iTunes yet). Not bad, 16 dance tracks for $9. My dance music prerequisites are met:
- Britney Spears remix – check (Break the Ice)
- Sped up ballad – check (Rihanna’s Take a Bow)
- Popular stuff – check (Estelle’s American Boy, Katy Perry’s I Kissed a Girl)
- Gems – check (Christina Millan’s Us Against the World is rockin!)
I’ve heard of some of the other stuff, but don’t care much for the originals so the remixes don’t do much for me. All in all, an okay buy for $9.
Your Twick Is Bigger Than Mine
Not quite safe for work, but if you wanted another way of measuring your status in the Twitter-verse, there’s Twicksize. You simply enter in a Twitter ID (no password), and the service will tell you how many inches your Twick is.
As an example, @CNETnews is 20 inches, @hawaii is 9 inches, @ryankanno is 7 inches, and old @geewhy is a mere 5 inches. Yes, your Twick is bigger than mine. 🙁
